Abstract	In 2007, nearly USD 28 trillion in assets were accumulated in private pension systems in the OECD area, of which more than 60% was held by the US private pension system (USD 17 trillion). The OECD-weighted average ratio of private pension assets to the area’s GDP reached 111.0% in 2007. Between 2006 and 2007, institutional investors’ total assets increased by 11.3%. However, pension funds’ assets rose only by 7.5%, while those of insurance companies and investment funds both grew 12.9%. The financial assets held by investors are heavily pension-oriented. As much as 60% of the total volume of assets held by institutional investors worldwide has as its main purpose the financing of retirement benefits. Chapter 1 describes the main types of private pension systems and focuses on the growing role of funding, private pensions, and institutional investors in retirement income arrangements. Data shown in this chaper include all kinds of private pension arrangements (i.e. including pension funds, book reserves, pension insurance contracts and bank/investment company managed funds).
